Three Spoons Make Three - All My Buttons

all my buttons

i didn’t know it was so easy
to leave only a letter
in the morning you will wake, dear,
and become a bornagain preacher
and you will divvy my possessions
in the way i have instructed
and your faith will feel strong
giving away sheet music and songs

give all my pens to the righteous
all my notebooks to the holy
all my boots to the gamblers
and all my candles to those in need
all my hats to the lonely
and my instruments to the broken-hearted
all my seashells to the sinners
and all my buttons i have saved for thee

i expect after my leaving
having found your love in jesus
you'll build a congregation
you'll build a church in the dirt
you didn’t know it’d come so quickly
but all you needed was the letter
to remember i’m still traveling
and i will be forever

chorus

and i’ll sing a little song
as i walk that skyway
’cause i’d like to keep you light
light on your feet babe
remember this one thing
if you remember anything
remember that your darkness is ok

chorus
